ISSA Strength and conditioning Exam
100% Accurate!!
Progressive resistance training - ANSWERA method of fitness training using an increasing overload to
cause the body to adapt, grow stronger, and build muscle.
PHYSIQUE DEVELOPMENT - ANSWERTraining to enhance muscular proportions and appearance
ATHLETICISM: - ANSWERThe competent use of capabilities such as strength, agility, and stamina
QUALITY OF LIFE - ANSWERThe standard of health, comfort, and happiness of an individual
KINESIOLOGY - ANSWERThe study of human movement and mechanics
PHYSICAL PROWESS - ANSWERThe elements enabling an athlete to perform well in their sport
RESILIENCY - ANSWERThe ability to withstand and recover from the physical and mental stressors of
sport
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (CNS) - ANSWERThe nervous system cells that make up the brain and
spinal cord
PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (PNS - ANSWERThe nervous system cells that provide information to
the brain and spinal cord
NEURON - ANSWERThe nervous system cell that produces action potentials to communicate with
other neurons, muscles, or glands
GLIA - ANSWERA nervous system cell that protects and nourishes neurons but that doesn't produce
an action potential
ACTION POTENTIAL - ANSWERThe electrical signal produced by a neuron or muscle spindle
Motor neurons - ANSWERtransmit commands from the brain or spinal cord to muscles and glands
Sensory neurons - ANSWERtransmit information into the brain and spinal cord to detect movement,
sight, touch, sound, and smell
Interneurons - ANSWERthe most abundant in the nervous system, create circuits between sensory or
motor neurons and transmit information between different parts of the brain
Dendrites - ANSWERare branches of the cell body that act as receivers, collecting information from
other neurons
The cell body, or soma - ANSWERis the bulbous end of a neuron that contains the nucleus (DNA).
This is the part of the neuron that integrates information and determines if there's enough to create
an action potential. The cell body contains the nucleus, which is the center of the cell.
The axon - ANSWERis the transmitter portion, relaying signals to other neurons, muscles, or organs.
The axons that travel from the spinal cord to the feet can be up to a meter long but just 100 microns
(a tenth of a millimeter) wide
, MUSCLE SPINDLE - ANSWERA sensory receptor contained in the muscle belly that detects changes in
muscle length and helps regulate contraction
SYNAPSE - ANSWERAn area between neurons, or between a neuron and muscles or glands, where
electrical or chemical signals are transmitted
NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION - ANSWERThe synapse where the motor neuron transmits a signal to
the muscle fiber that results in muscle contraction
MYELIN - ANSWERA fatty sheath around the axon of a nerve that provides electrical insulation,
protection, nourishment, and faster signal transmission
MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS - ANSWERA disease that damages the myelin that surrounds an axon
CRANIAL NERVES - ANSWER12 pairs of nerves that emerge from the brain or brainstem to relay pure
sensory, pure motor, or sensory and motor information to the head
SOMATIC NERVOUS SYSTEM - ANSWERThe division of the peripheral nervous system that controls
voluntary movement
AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM - ANSWERThe division of the peripheral nervous system that
controls subconscious actions such as breathing, heart rate, and digestive processes
SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM - ANSWERThe division of the autonomic nervous system that
generates the "fight or flight" response
MENINGES - ANSWERThe membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord to provide protection and
nourishment
CEREBROSPINAL FLUID (CSF) - ANSWERA clear fluid found in the brain and spinal cord that protects
and cleans the brain
VENTRICLES - ANSWERCavities in the brain that contain cerebrospinal fluid
CAUDA EQUINA - ANSWERA bundle of spinal nerves that begins around the second lumbar vertebrae
where the spinal cord ends
CERVICAL ENLARGEMENT - ANSWERThe larger diameter area of the spinal cord that contains the
nerves that travel to the upper limbs
LUMBAR ENLARGEMENT - ANSWERThe larger diameter area of the spinal cord that contains the
nerves that travel to the lower limbs
SENSORY (AFFERENT) NERVE - ANSWERA bundle of axons that carries sensory information into the
brain or spinal cord
MOTOR (EFFERENT) NERVE - ANSWERA bundle of axons that carries motor information away from
the brain or spinal cord to muscles or glands
MIXED NERVE - ANSWERA bundle of axons that carries sensory, motor, and autonomic information
SPINAL NERVES - ANSWER31 pairs of nerves that emerge from the spinal cord to relay motor,
sensory, and autonomic information from the neck to the feet, except for the C1 spinal nerve that
transmits pure motor information
